V Café at the Institute
Our café – V Café at the Institute – has been run by Nick Humble since 2019. Joined by his friendly team, they offer a welcoming space to relax, have a coffee, and enjoy delicious vegetarian and vegan lunches in our historic Assembly Room.

The regularly changing menu is based on seasonal, locally-sourced produce. Our vegetables are grown by The Halow Project and we also offer freshly-roasted Surrey Hills coffee.

Superb food and service, as always. By a mile the best place to eat at lunchtime in Guildford, and a lovely bit of quiet sanctuary!
